Description

This MCP server fetches the latest README documentation for any npm package by first attempting to retrieve it from the package's GitHub repository, and if unavailable, falling back to extracting the README from the npm package tarball. It ensures developers have access to the most current and accurate package documentation within their IDE, improving development experience and reducing errors caused by outdated information. The tool integrates seamlessly with MCP-compatible IDEs like Cursor.
